Chapter 401: Going to the meeting alone, assassinating at midnight

In the barracks of the Waiting Tiger Army, there was a gloomy cloud, and the groans and cries of sergeants could be faintly heard from some tents, and some of the sergeants on patrol were also listless.

In the daytime, he fought with the Xiqi army, and the 200,000 troops of Chonghou Tiger were killed and wounded, and the rest were already frightened by the Xiqi army, to be precise, by Nangong Shi's handsome elite cavalry, and basically had no combat effectiveness. It can be said that Chonghouhu's expedition to Xiqi this time has already been defeated.

Walking slowly in the barracks, the black tiger in armor couldn't help frowning slightly when he looked at the bleak scene in the camp.

Chongheihu was ordered by Chonghouhu to press grain and then came, and arrived here at ten o'clock in the evening. At that time, Chonghouhu had already been defeated by the Xiqi army.

Speaking of which, under the command of Bei Bohou, there is no one whose courage and means can be compared with Chongheihu. It is said that he should be allowed to join the army, not to press the grain. However, Chonghou Tiger is a person who is brutal and arrogant, and has always been jealous and jealous of his younger brother's ability to worship Heihu. Pressing food seems to be an important thing, as if he trusts Chonghei Tiger very much, but to put it bluntly, he still doesn't want Chonghei Tiger to fight and steal his limelight.

can worship under the Du'er Zhenren to learn art, Chonghehu is not a reckless man. On the contrary, he is smart! He naturally knows these methods of worshipping the tiger. In addition, the two brothers went to learn the Tao in their early years because of Chongheihu, and later Chongheihu became Caozhou Hou, and they did not have much contact, so although they are brothers, their feelings are also very average.

Speaking of which, Chongheihu, who was young and vigorous at the beginning and failed to learn the Tao, also had some thoughts of competing with Chonghouhu for the title of Marquis of Beibei. Although I was relieved a little later. However, the contradictions and mustards between each other cannot be resolved. Coupled with the brutality and unkindness of Chonghou Tiger, although Chonghou Tiger turned a blind eye to this in the love of brotherhood, he was also a little dissatisfied with Chonghou Tiger in his heart.

Unconsciously. Chongheihu, who came to the position close to the handsome tent, looked up at the handsome tent that was still brightly lit, frowned and hesitated slightly, and then turned around and prepared to leave.

And at this moment, in the midst of the scolding, a person who seemed to be a general was pulled out of the army by a soldier like a wolf and a tiger, and shouted sadly: "Master Hou." Spare your life! Hou Ye spares his life! ”

Chongheihu, who was slight, looked at this scene, and couldn't help frowning and hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Stop!" ”

"Cao Zhouhou. Help me! When the general saw Chongheihu, he immediately hurriedly cried and spoke.

Sighing and nodding, Chongheihu, who ordered the soldiers to wait for the time being, was busy walking towards the tent.

When the black tiger entered the tent. I saw the generals in the tent with their heads bowed and silent, and the ugly and angry Chonghou Tiger sitting on the main seat.

"Brother!" The black tiger who stepped forward to give a salute. I couldn't help but say in a respectful voice.

Seeing Chong Hei Hu, Chong Hou Hu, whose eyes narrowed slightly, said indifferently: "Black Tiger, what's the matter?" ”

"Brother, what mistake did General Lin make that my brother wanted to kill him?" Chonghei Hu suddenly frowned and hurriedly asked.

Listening to Chongheihu's words, Chonghouhu, whose face sank, said coldly: "Heihu, he is a general under his brother." The battle is unfavorable, and the enemy is afraid of advancing. Can't you deal with him as a brother? ”

"Brother, we didn't expect that there would be such an elite and weird cavalry in Naxiqi! This is not the fault of the war, let alone the fault of General Lin. Brother kills generals like this, isn't he afraid of chilling the soldiers? Chonghei Tiger couldn't help but shake his head busily.

'Peng' slapped Chonghouhu on the table, and looked at Chonghei Tiger with a cold gaze and said, "Chongheihu, what do I do, it's not your turn to teach you a lesson!" That's a nice thing to say! Are you trying to buy hearts and minds? ”

"Brother, in your eyes, is the little brother really so unbearable?" Chongheihu, who smiled bitterly, couldn't help but look at Chonghouhu and was silent for a while before slowly speaking softly.

"Humph!" Chonghouhu, who sat down with a cold snort, said disdainfully: "What you think in your heart, you know best!" ”

Chongheihu, who nodded slightly, knelt down on one knee at Chonghouhu and said indifferently: "Brother, I don't want to say anything, please spare General Lin's life!" ”

"Huh!" Chonghou Hu, who smiled lowly, looked at Chonghei Tiger and couldn't help but say, "Okay! Fulfill you for your brother! If you kneel here all night, my brother will promise you to spare General Lin's life! ”

"Good!" Chongheihu, who bowed his head, couldn't help but respond with his eyes slightly closed when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Chonghouhu, who had cold eyes, turned to look coldly at the generals in the tent and shouted, "What are you still standing here looking at?" Want to kneel with him? Go back! ”

"Yes, Master Hou!" The generals who answered the call hurriedly left the military tent one by one.

Watching the generals leave, he turned to look at Chonghou Hu, who worshiped the Black Tiger, and couldn't help but be silent for a while, and only said indifferently for a long time: "Black Tiger, you must hate me very much in your heart, right?" Back then, my father intended to pass on the position of Northern Bohou to you. It's a pity that when my father died, you commanded the army outside and lost the opportunity to become the Northern Bohou. I know you've always been very unwilling, haven't you? ”

"That was decades ago, why is my brother mentioning it?" Chonghei Tiger couldn't help but say indifferently.

Chonghouhu said with a low smile: "Is it over?" Have you forgotten? ”

"Forget!" Chonghei Tiger replied indifferently.

Listening to Chonghehu's words, Chonghouhu, who was noncommittal and smiled, his eyes flickered, and he turned to say: "Heihu, I intend to let you fight tomorrow, are you sure to win?" ”

"Is my brother determined to fight?" Chonghei Hu asked rhetorically.

Looking at Chonghei Tiger with vague eyes, Chonghou Tiger couldn't help but say, "What? You don't want to fight? This is the king's command! ”

"Ji Changxian, it's unjust!" Chonghei Hu couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"Virtuous?" Chonghou Hu, who asked rhetorically, couldn't help but sneer and said, "Xianhou will eat his own meat? Tiger poison does not eat children, he is more poisonous than a tiger! ”

Chongheihu, who was silent for a moment, looked up at Chonghouhu and said indifferently: "Tomorrow, I will fight!" ”

"Good! Ha Lu Ha" squinted at the Chonghou Tiger who worshiped the Black Tiger, and couldn't help but smile

The next day, Chonghei Tiger led the army to the Xiqi army camp to call for battle. Attracted Bukit to come to fight.

It is said that Bukit's martial arts are not bad, and they are not inferior to Chongheihu, and the two have fought for a full one or two hundred rounds. Later, the black tiger showed a flaw. Pretending to be injured and wanting to escape, Bukit didn't know why, so he chased after him, but he was caught by the Iron Beak Condor secretly released by the Chonghei Tiger.

Let's say that Chonghei Tiger pressed the unconvinced Bukit back to the barracks of the Northern Bohou army, and as soon as he arrived at the Shuai Tent, he saw the generals who had gathered together with anxious faces before the Shuai Tent.

"What happened?" Chongheihu, who was busy stepping forward, couldn't help frowning slightly, and shouted with some bad premonition in his heart.

See the Black Tiger. One of the generals immediately stepped forward and said: "Cao Zhouhou, the big thing is not good, the Hou Ye is gone!" But. An invitation was left in the tent, which was given to Caozhou by Xibohou to wait for you. ”

"What?" Chongheihu, who was shocked, hurriedly reached out and took the invitation card handed over by the general as he spoke.

Chonghei Tiger, who opened the invitation card, looked at it, and his face changed. I couldn't help but squint my eyes slightly, and took a light breath and said, "Xiqi is in the army." Sure enough, there are great people! ”

"Cao Zhouhou, what should we do now?" The general who had handed over the invitation before couldn't help but be busy.

Chongheihu, who closed the invitation, couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly: "What else can I do?" Ben Hou only has to go to Xiqi Camp once! ”

Listening to Chonghehu's words, the generals who looked at each other didn't know how to say it for a while.

Not far away, Wu Ji, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Hehe, what a Caozhou candidate." Sure enough, he has the courage! However, I am the enemy of Xiqi. Be careful, I'm afraid it will be your head that suddenly disappears next time! ”

"If you are defeated, you dare to be rampant!" Listening to Wu Ji's words, his face changed slightly, and one of the generals blushed and shouted with some shame.

Wu Ji, who shook his head with disdain, said: "I am Cao Zhouhou's defeated general, but not your defeated general!" Yesterday, you will fight me in the future, otherwise I, Bukit, would have already been cut off the horse! ”

"You" The general couldn't help but be even more embarrassed when he heard it.

Chongheihu, who stretched out his hand slightly to stop the general, turned to look at Wu Ji and said indifferently: "Suppress him!" ”

"Yes!" Under the escort of the soldiers, Bukit, who was smiling loudly, turned around and left

In the Xiqi camp, among the handsome tents, Ji Changgao sat on the main seat, Jiang Shang, who frowned slightly and looked slightly unsightly, sat on one side, and the generals were displayed on both sides, and the atmosphere was slightly dull.

"Master Hou, let me lead the troops to call the battle! Or you can capture one or two enemy generals and exchange them for Bukit! Nangong Shi couldn't help but say.

Before Ji Chang could speak, Jiang Shang shook his head slightly and said, "General Nangong, don't be impatient!" Bukit's life is safe! ”

"Dr. Jiang is right, Bukit will definitely be fine!" In the pleasant and light light laughter, Chen Xi, who was dressed in white civilian clothes, walked in with a smile on the corner of his mouth, followed by the white tiger Xiaobai. What is surprising is that Xiaobai seems to be carrying a person in a black costume on his back.

Seeing that Xiao Bai subconsciously let go of the generals slightly, and turned to look at the person who slipped to the ground on Xiao Bai's back who shook his body slightly, he couldn't help but show surprise.

"Waiting for the tiger?" Ji Chang was even more shocked and stood up suddenly.

On the side, Jiang Shang, who also looked surprised, looked at Chen Xi with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. This little aunt and grandmother are really neat!

Ji Chang, who reacted slightly, couldn't help but look at Chen Xi with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and said, "Xi'er, you went to arrest Chonghouhu in person?" ”

"Father, why do you need me to come when you catch a mere waiting tiger?" Chen Xi, who shook his head and smiled, reached out and touched Xiaobai's head on the side and said with a smile: "It was Xiaobai who went to arrest Chonghouhu!" Moreover, I asked Xiaobai to leave an invitation to Chongheihu, he should arrive soon. ”

glanced at Xiao Bai, who was beside Chen Xi who raised his head slightly with a hint of pride, and then Ji Chang sat down slightly and shook his head and smiled: "Okay!" Come on, press down and lock up the tiger! Guarded! ”

"Yes!" Outside the tent, two soldiers stepped forward and carried Chonghouhu out.

After Chonghou Tiger was escorted away, the generals looked at Chen Xi and Xiaobai, and then looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, without any previous worries and anxieties

In the evening, when everyone in Xiqi was waiting a little anxiously, Chonghei Tiger came to the Xiqi army with several accompanying guards and Bukit.

In front of the big tent of the Xiqi Chinese army, Ji Chang, Jiang Shang, Chen Xi, and the generals welcomed the arrival of Chongheihu.

I saw that Chonghei Tiger actually came with Bukit. Everyone couldn't help but admire this guy's courage.

"Ha Luha, Brother Black Tiger! I haven't seen you for many years, but it's always been good, huh? Ji Chang looked very familiar and stepped forward with a polite smile. didn't care at all about the fact that he was too close to Chongheihu and might be held hostage by Chongheihu, so he couldn't help but smile and politely greeted him.

Subsequently, the group entered the Chinese army's tent together, and sat down as the host and guest.

"Master Hou, it must be the reason why the black tiger of Zhilu Dao came this time, right?" Chonghei Tiger took the lead and said to Ji Chang.

Ji Chang, who looked at the Black Tiger with a light smile, nodded and said, "Brother Black Tiger!" I, Ji Chang, are not far away from the end of the war. However, Bei Bohou insisted on going his own way! So, I had to invite him to come and sit down, and we had a good talk. ”

"Master Hou, forgive me! My brother is also helpless! This attack on Xiqi. It's the king's commandment! Chongheihu, who shook his head helplessly, couldn't help but say: "If Master Hou is willing to spare my brother's life, I am willing to go to my brother in person and let him agree to withdraw the troops, and the two families will rebuild the old friendship." What does Hou Ye think? ”

stroked the beard as if Ji Chang was groaning. He smiled and said, "Brother Black Tiger." To be honest, Ben Hou had no intention of harming the life of the Northern Bohou. Anyway, Ben Hou will promise you! If the Northern Bohou is really willing to withdraw his troops and save the people on both sides from the military disaster, then Benhou will no longer care about the previous festival! ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" When Chong Heihu heard this, he immediately said busily: "Master Hou, there are a lot of them, Black Tiger admires!" ”

While speaking, Ji Chang ordered Nangong Shi to take Chonghei Tiger to see Chonghou Tiger. And Chonghei Tiger also reciprocated the favor, and released Bukit on the spot.

After Nangong Shi led the black tiger away. Chen Xi couldn't help but look at Ji Chang with beautiful eyes and said, "Father, are you really going to just forget it?" ”

"If we can really avoid the scourge of this war. Ben Hou naturally has to do his best! Ji Chang couldn't help but take a slight breath and said.

Listening to Ji Chang's slightly meaningful words, Chen Xi, who nodded lightly, showed a hint of surprise on his beautiful eyes.

After a while, amid the sound of footsteps, Chonghou Tiger, Chonghei Tiger and Nangong Shicai came back together.

"Ha Luha, Brother Hou Hu, it seems that you have agreed to withdraw your troops!" Ji Chang, who got up with a smile, couldn't help but step forward.

Seeing Ji Chang, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he returned the salute: "Brother Ji Chang!" It's not the younger brother this time, it's just that the king's order is difficult to disobey, please don't blame the brother! ”

"Hey! Anyway! Now that it's said, there's nothing wrong with that! While speaking, Ji Chang smiled and politely invited the Chonghou Tiger and Chonghei Tiger brothers to sit down, and then ordered to prepare a grand dinner.

A dinner party was very lively, and everyone seemed to be relatively harmonious.

After the dinner, Ji Chang personally instructed that the military tents where Chonghou Hu and Chonghei Hu lived should be arranged not far from both sides of the tent.

Everyone went back to their tents to rest, and the night gradually deepened.

Suddenly, a figure in the big tent of Chonghouhu appeared silently, and came straight to the side of Ji Changshuai's tent, it was Chonghouhu.

Chonghou Hu, whose eyes flashed with bloodthirsty sneering, gently slashed open the big tent with a dagger in his hand, and quietly drilled in.

"Hey!" Chongheihu, who shouted in a low voice, went straight to Ji Chang's sleeping side, and directly raised his hand and held the dagger and prepared to stab it.

And at this moment, the lights in the handsome tent were instantly bright, and a shadow sat quietly on Ji Chang's sleep, and a long sword like ice and jade in his hand was pointed at Chonghou Hu's throat, and the horrified Chonghou Tiger instantly stiffened his eyes and looked at Chen Xi in disbelief.

Chonghou Hu, who reacted immediately, instantly retreated, and the dagger in his hand slashed towards the long sword.

With a crisp sound, Chen Xi, who directly jumped away from the dagger in Chonghouhu's hand, then got up and pointed at Chonghouhu again, the tip of the sword was close to Chonghouhu's throat, a trace of blood appeared, and the pain in his throat suddenly made Chonghouhu dare not move again.

In the footsteps, Nangong Shi, Wu Ji and Jiang Shang also came to the handsome tent with Ji Chang and Chongheihu.

"Brother, you are unexpectedly" frowned and looked helplessly at Chongheihu, who was looking at Chonghou Hu, and couldn't help but sigh.

And Nangong Shi and Wu Ji were already stepping forward quickly to restrain Chonghou Tiger at this time.

"Hehe" In the midst of the low laughter, he turned to Chonghouhu and couldn't help but grit his teeth and look at Ji Chang and said, "You want me to surrender to him and dream!" Ji Chang, don't look so elegant. I can't get out of your son's death, do you think I really believe that you don't care? ”

As he spoke, Chonghou Hu turned to look at Chonghei Tiger with a sneer and said, "Chongheihu, don't act in front of me." You wish I had died sooner, did you? Do you think, I don't know why you came so late? Now, you're afraid you're in charge of my men, aren't you? I'm afraid that if I go back, my people will no longer be able to command! ”

"Brother, you are my brother, I don't want you to die!" Chongheihu, who shook his head slightly, couldn't help but look at Chonghouhu with some sadness and said, "If you don't come to assassinate Xibohou tonight, when you go back, I will provide you with a good old age!" ”

Listening to Chongheihu's words, Chonghouhu, who was stunned, couldn't help laughing at himself, but gritted his teeth and glared at Chongheihu: "Bastard! Do you think I'll be rare? You're so ruthless! In that case, you might as well kill me! ”

"Waiting for the Tiger!" Chongheihu, who snorted in a low voice, suddenly looked at Chonghouhu with a slightly ugly face and said in a low voice: "I don't want to say anything!" I just want to ask you, how did my father die? Did he really die of illness? ”

Listening to Chongheihu's words, Chonghouhu's eyes were fixed, and after a moment of silence, he said with a low smile on his face: "That's right, I killed him!" But he's damned! I am his eldest son, and he wants to pass on the title of Marquis of the North to you, why? Old immortal, he's old and confused! ”

"Your father is not confused at all!" Chen Xi looked at Chonghouhu and said indifferently: "If he hands over the inheritance to a jackal-like son, then he will be confused!" ”

Chongheihu, who was clasping his hands, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, showing a sad look on his face, and traces of blood oozed from between his fingers, and only after a while did he open his eyes and look at Chonghouhu, shaking his head, and saying in a hoarse and low voice: "No, I killed my father!" If I hadn't come back, he wouldn't have had the heart to make me his heir, and he wouldn't have died! ”

"You're wrong!" Listening to Chongheihu's words, Chonghouhu, who was slightly stunned, shook his head and smiled with a slightly wanton and crazy taste: "Even if there is no you, I can't wait to be the Northern Bohou!" (To be continued......)
